**********CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. WINNER ANNOUNCED SOON! THANK YOU!************

Hello, everyone!

Whew! I'm back from my self-imposed hiatus and a quickie trip to sunny California! I think the craziness and sickness has finally left - or is leaving - my house (knock on wood!) and I'm ready to be back here a bit more!

The first thing I just have to share is my guest designer gig for my friend, Kerry Lynn's wonderful kit club, Kenner Road! KL is such an amazing artist and her kits are always full of such wonderful vintage pieces and gorgeous papers so I was hugely honored to be a part of it if only for a month.

Here are my contributions to her gallery for October's Kit and Add-ons:

This layout is about our recent trip to the apple orchard (um, yeah - pictures I haven't quite posted due to above-mentioned craziness!) and how those apples just taste better right off the tree! LOVE those faces! ;)

Yes, I crashed a wedding on my trip to Florida last month. It was so beautiful and the clouds had opened up to a gorgeous sunset right before we walked out there and came upon this. I swear there was truly a silver lining to those clouds!

These cards completely got me in the mood for fall and (quickly-approaching) Thanksgiving. I think I am addicted to these crystals now! Love them!

...and last but not least this fun Kaiser Craft bird house. I'm thinking it will hold some business cards one day. We'll see!

Thank you so much, kl, for letting me be a part of your club this month. I had a ball! And for you lucky readers, you can be a part of Kenner Road, too! Kerry has graciously offered up one of her add-on kits, Windy Corners, to one random reader! Simply leave a comment here by 11:59 pm Eastern Time on Wednesday, October 21st and you will be entered to win!

Your work with the kit is - as always - amazing! I must say the wedding on the beach must've been a wonderful surprise, and I just love the apple pics!Thanks to Kenner Road for the chance to win the add-on.

wow wow wow!!!!! Your projects are amazing!!!!! I love how you used the crystals!!!! I have some and just havent found a good way to use them but now I think I may have a couple to try out! Thanks!!!!!!

Hey Kelly. You've been busy. Beautiful work. I have some products from the Crate Paper Seasons and Pink Paislee Amber Road lines, but this kit would really tie things together for me. Especially the CP chipboard stickers. That bird house is too cute!

I saw these on Kenner Road's site before visiting here. Nothing can measure your vast talent, that's for sure!! When are you coming to Minnesota to teach, so I can take another class just to sit and stare and bask in the glory? :)

I love.. love... love this new kit.. I recently purchased some of the crate paper line and love it. I would LOVE to have more so I can share! thanks for the opportunity! p.s. Your orchard pics are awesome - makes me want to go apple pickin'

Oh....my.....gosh! This kit is absolutely gorgeous! I love everything about it....the birdhouse, the paper, the stamps, the flowers oh my. How awesome it would be to win this (I hope it is not too late to enter). Thanks for a chance at winning :)

I am a HUGE fan of your work and a serious BG addict. I have a question about your journaling....on many of your layouts it looks as though you have printed it right onto the cardstock, and in some cases the journaling fits around a shape or follows a non linear line. (does that make sense?) HOW do you do it?? What kind of printer do you use?
